For demonstrating widely tunable external cavity lasers operating for near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, a flexible polymer waveguide with an imbedded Bragg grating is incorporated. Due to the superior flexibility of the polymer material, the reflection wavelength of the Bragg grating is widely tunable by imposing tensile and compressive strains on the flexible Bragg grating. A third-order Bragg grating is formed on the device for facilitating the fabrication method. With a superluminescent laser diode as a gain medium of ECL, the tunable laser exhibited output power of -3 dBm and a tuning range of 32 nm.

평판 도파로에서 Cerenkov-idler configuration 형태의 광학적 매개증폭에 대해서 결합모드 이론을 적용하여 결합모드 방정식을 유도하고, 이 방정식의 근사해를 펌핑광의 고갈(depletion)이 없는 경우에 대해서 구한다. 이 근사해로부터 발생되는 idler의 체렌코프 복사각이 $0^{\circ}$도에 접근할 때 signal의 이득이 크게 향상될 수 있음을 보여주고 수치적 예를 보인다.

Inthis paper, we design 4$\times$4 optical star coupler with tapered coupling structure. The 4$\times$4 optical star coupler consists of four 3dB couplers and a 100% coupler with tapered structure. This star coupler is designed by the 2 dimension FD-BPM(finite difference beam propagation method) using TBC(transparent boundary condition). consequently, the maximum power unbalance ratios of relative output power from each of the output waveguides for each of input guides are less than 0.1dB, and the transmission efficiency is more than 99%.

In order to obtain thermal-stable, low birefringent, and low optical loss waveguiding materials, we synthesized several fluorinated poly (maleimide-co-glycidylmethacrylate)s using a pentafluorophenylmaleimide (PEM) and two kinds of methacrylate derivatives as comonomers and glycidylmethacrylate as a crosslinker. One comonomer is a linear fluorinated methacrylate (HFBM) and another is a bulky norbornane-derived methacrylate (NMMA). These copolymers could be self-crosslinked by heating due to epoxy groups of glycidylmethacrylates. As a maleimide contents increased to 50 mol%, these copolymers showed high decomposition temperatures of above 300$^{\circ}C$. The refractive index could be precisely controlled by the variation of PFM/HFBA or PFM/NMMA feed ratio in the range of 1.410∼1.508 at 643 nm. The copolymers had very low birefringence in the range of 1∼5${\times}$10$\^$-4/.

The laser direct writing method has some advantages of being maskless, allowing rapid and inexpensive prototyping in comparison to conventional mask-based photolithography. In general, there are two kinds of laser direct writing methods such as the laser ablation method and the laser polymerization method. The laser polymerization method was studied fur manufacturing waveguide in this paper. It is important to reduce line width for image mode waveguides, so some investigations will be carried out in various conditions of process parameters such as laser power, writing speed, focusing height and optical properties of polymer. Experimentally, the optical waveguide was manufactured trapezoid shape. Through SEM the waveguide was 20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ width and 7.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ height.

Closed-form analytical expressions and 3-dimensional normalized charts for the homogeneous sensing and surface sensing structures are derived to provide the conditions for the maximum sensitivity of integrated-optic biosensors based on evanescent-wave and stepindex planar optical waveguides. The analysis is made for transverse electric (TE) polarization mode, in both cases where the measurand is homogeneously distributed in the cover (namely, homogeneous sensing), and where it is an ultrathin film on the waveguide-cover interface (namely, surface sensing).

Ti：LiNbO$_3$ 광도파로는 확산형 도파로이기 때문에 그 도파특성이 확산공정 조건에 크게 의존할 뿐만 아니라 굴절률 분포를 모델링하기가 어렵다. 이러한 이유로 설계된 Ti：LiNbO$_3$ 광도파로의 특성은 실제 제작된 소자와 큰 차이를 보이는 경우가 많은데, 이를 개선하기 위해서는 각 공정파라미터에 따른 도파 특성의 변화를 파악하는 작업이 우선적으로 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 너비를 갖는 Ti strip을 동일한 확산조건에서 확산시킨 후 제작된 광도파로의 도파손실 및 모드패턴을 측정하였다. (중략)

Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM)과 Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) 광 네트워크에서 전광 파장변환은 미래 초고속통신의 핵심 기술이다. 파장변환장치는 정보 소통량 관리에 유연성을 부여함과 동시에 광 네트워크의 동적 재구성을 용이하게 한다. 최근에 주기적 분극을 가진 LiNbO$_3$ 도파로를 이용한 몇몇 파장변환실험들이 성공적으로 수행됨으로써, Difference Frequency Generation (DFG)와 같은 2차 비선형 분극을 이용한 파장변환 장치에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다.

We investigate the characteristics of the surface mode formed at the single interface between dual singly negative medium layers. It is shown that the interface can support a mode which has polarization degeneracy and a vanishing propagation constant. That is, this surface mode is a polarization-independent one that does not propagate at all through the interface. The corresponding electric and magnetic field distributions become static along the longitudinal (guiding) direction (but not along the transverse direction) resulting in the formation of transverse-electric/longitudinalmagnetic or transverse-magnetic/longitudinal-electric modes.

This study first proposes a new version of a photonic crystal based de-multiplexer operating under the slow light regime, secondly analyses the structure numerically to demonstrate de-multiplexing operation and finally studies the impact of light speed on the performance of the proposed structure. The operation wavelength is 1.55 µm. The study indicates that, by adjusting the speed of light, around 0.1C, in the main waveguide and in the output channels’ waveguides, an enhancement in the performance of the de-multiplexer will be gained.
